My Dog Tulip Audiobook

" If you've had a dog or like dogs you'll enjoy this book as I did. Very descriptive and a few laughs along the way in the author's telling of his relationship with Tulip. "

" Interesting and odd memoir of a crusty English bachelor's relationship to his German Shepherd. I'm interested to see how this was adapted into an animated movie. "

" A book about a man's struggle to breed his bitch so that she can experience the miracle of creating life and the wonders of giving birth. This book is supposed to be charming but I think it's just weird. "

" Not like most dog books, but a revealing and accurate story about a dog and its owner. This book didn't ring as being false and superficial. "

" A very excellent and bizarre book that was mostly about a single old gay man in London between the world wars and his fixation on his dog's mating patterns. "

" It's fifteen years since I read this little gem and I'm delighted to see that it's recently been made into a wonderful animated feature film. Yes it's a book about a dog called Tulip, but soooooo much more is teeming away beneath the surface. Touchingly popmous here and there, the narrative is rich with honesty and offers shrewd perceptions of character. Buy the book and see the film! "

" It's reassuring to learn that there are people in this world who are ever so slightly nuttier than I am. I loved this book! "

" I started out really liking this book, but then around Chapter 3, it devolved into more of the same, but somehow loonier. The human character was so dotty (he could only be a middle-aged lonely Brit), which was first endearing, then tiring. A short story turned into a full-length book. "

" Charming - but the focus is not just a story about a man and his dog but rather on the dog's reproductive life. Curious angle... "

" Enjoyable. An easy read about a man's love for his dog. What else does one need? "

" The writing is very English, very witty. But I wanted to shake the author and say "get her spayed!" "

" This was so not what I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. "

" Very well written. Gentle. Funny. Humble. "

" A wonderful story of a man and his dog, who, I think was the better person of the two. "

" I do not approve of Ackerley's methods, not one little bit. Granted, this was the 1940s, and attitudes and practices were different than they are now. But mating his dog for no other reason than that he wanted her to experience motherhood - really, that's just irresponsible. "

" I giggled my way through Tulip's adventures from the beginning almost to the end, when I cried tears from my heart. "

" A little base so far but pretty funny!"dogs read the world through their noses and write their history in urine." "

" Story of a man and his German Shepherd. A bit bizarre, especially Ackerley's preoccupation with the female dog's sexual needs. "

" That Ackerley loved his dog is without question. He may, in fact, have loved her a little too much. "
